CASology #127


Welcome to Week 127 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:



I had lots of fun ideas for this week's cue word including a feather (light as a feather), a paper airplane (a very lightweight object), a rainbow (made from refracted light), etc. but in the end I went with a stoplight.  I hadn't used this Neat & Tangled set before and decided it needed to see some ink.  Also, now that Christmas is almost here and gone it's time to start work on those Valentine's cards!  :)  
And now it's your turn.  Head over to the CASology blog and check out the gorgeousness from the Design Team and then play along.  You have two weeks for this challenge and then we'll be back on Tuesday, 6 January with a new challenge!.



And this week's guest designer:

CASology #126


Welcome to Week 126 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:




I finally broke down and made a snow card!  I didn't really have much choice with this cue word.  LOL!  It gave me an excuse to break out this ancient snowflake die though so that's a plus.  :)  I also used some alphabet stickers that I've had kicking around for quite a while.  (This card would have worked for last week's cue as well since the snowflake is actually silver.)  
Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing all your snowy creations.  Pop over to the CASology blog to check out the gorgeousness from the rest of the Design Team and then play along!

There are a lot of fabulous Christmas songs out there but Silver Bells is one of my favourites especially when it's Bing Crosby's version.  His voice just sounds like Christmas!  The design team gals have gone in a few different directions with this cue word and I can't wait to see what you do with it!

CASology #124


Welcome to Week 124 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:


My card this week uses "old" in a lot of ways.  All the stamps are from older collections, the penny farthing is an antique and the sentiment uses the word old in it.  A triple old play!  Be sure and check out the rest of the awesomeness from the design team and then play along!

CASology #123


Welcome to Week 123 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:


I was in a bold base-colour kind of mood when I made this card so I kept my image clean and white to balance it out.  I coloured the flames yellow to tie the image to the bright sentiment.  Hop on over to the CASology blog and check out all the goodies created by the Design Team gals and then play along!

CAS(E) This Sketch 100!



Hello there!  I was so excited when Chrissy Larson contacted me to help celebrate the 100th sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch!  I was a member of the design team from November 2012 - June 2014 and I give CTS full credit for helping me overcome my fear of sketches.  I play along now and then and always check out the latest creations from the design team - it's a stellar group of ladies!  Anyway I spent a ridiculously long time on a card before finally admitting to myself that it just wasn't working and I needed to start over. Thankfully once I saw Therese's card over at Muse this idea came together very quickly and easily.  I hope you'll play along and make this 100th challenge a super special one!    

I'm also playing along with the Moxie Fab Tree-Mendous Trees challenge and the Simon Says Wednesday Star challenge.
